Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seattle to Atlanta. The right side delivers the most dramatic single moment of the flight — the Seattle skyline and Elliott Bay on departure — and also picks up views of the Cascades and later the Appalachian ridgelines on approach to Atlanta. The left side has a better Atlanta landing view, but the Seattle departure spectacle on the right outweighs it overall.

During takeoff from Boeing Fld King Co International (BFI), sit on the Right side for the best views. BFI's primary departure runway 13R sends aircraft southeast over the Duwamish industrial waterway and Elliott Bay. Right-side passengers get a sweeping look back at downtown Seattle, the Space Needle area, and Lake Union as the aircraft climbs and turns eastward toward the Cascades. Notable sights include: Elliott Bay and downtown Seattle skyline, Lake Union, Mount Rainier to the southeast, the Cascade Range foothills.

When landing at The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Left side for the best views. ATL's primary arrival runways 26L and 27L bring aircraft in from the east-northeast. Left-side passengers get a clear view of downtown Atlanta's skyline to the north during the approach, including the distinctive cluster of Midtown and Downtown towers. Right side faces south toward suburban sprawl with fewer landmarks. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Midtown Atlanta towers, Stone Mountain visible to the east on approach, Hartsfield-Jackson airport complex layout.
